Diversity and distribution of phytophagous and predatory mites on rosehip (Rosa canina L.) (Rosaceae) in Ankara, Turkey

Abstract

The study was carried out to detect phytophagous and predatory mites on rosehip (Rosa canina L.) (Rosaceae) in Ankara, Turkey. The samples were collected monthly from Ayaş, Çubuk, Gölbaşı, Haymana, Kahramankazan and Kızılcahamam districts of Ankara province from March to November between 2012 and 2014. As a result, a total of 12 mite species were identified namely; Amphitetranychus viennensis (Zacher), Bryobia kissophila Eyndhoven, Eotetranychus populi (Koch), Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), Cenopalpus pulcher (Canestrini and Fanzago) (Acari: Tenuipalpidae), Tarsonemus smithi Ewing (Acari: Tarsonemidae) as phytophagous mites, and Euseius finlandicus (Oudemans), Kampimodromus aberrans (Oudemans), Paraseiulus triporus (Chant and Yoshida-Shaul), Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) bagdasarjani Wainstein and Arutunjan, T. (A.) psyllakisi (Swirski and Ragusa) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) and Zetzellia mali (Ewing) (Acari: Stigmaeidae) as predatory mites. Tetranychus urticae and K. aberrans are the most common phytophagous and predatory mites, respectively. Tarsonemus smithi is a new record for the Turkish fauna.
